when headlights catch something

[alpacinou]

What can I say about this dog in the picture?



I was walking in the darkness a saw a dog ...

I know I can say "silhouetted against the headlights" or "caught in the headlights" but I want to know other ways of expressing it.

You're walking, so: What headlights? Anyhow:

. . . in the headlights.

. . . caught in the headlights' glare.

. . . lit up by the headlights.

The dog in the photo was caught in the headlights. I was picturing what it would be like if I saw this from the point of the view of the person who took the photo/video.

Using the confuses it because you don't said what headlights. It was caught in the glare of headlights.
